Speaking OF theatrCals, a couple of friends
of mine went TO see Nine Bernhardt as Frou
Frou. Their neighbor was a grave gentle
man, evidently of German origin, who
watched the performance with a puzzled face.
In the middle of the second act when the
star and her leading woman We're on together,
he remarked with elaborate poIitencsS, 20 one
Of my friends, a lady:
Gould you please tell me, madam, which is
SARAH"
Sarah was pointed ont to him, and he said
with n sigh:
"The worst about this performance is tina,
you cannot understand word of it. But she
IS quite lively, isn't she?'
His neighbor agreed with him. and he re
marked further: 'She has got nice dresses
too" After while, when Frou Frou SQUAD
bled with her husband, he observed: "Now
she has troubles" and became much inter
ested When the curtain fell he said it wa:
'very nice" and went away rubbing his head
as if trying to decipher out what it was al
about.
Iwonder how many people there are il
Nme. Bernhardt's audiences who have tn,
same sentiments and experiences, though
most of them are wise enough TO keep then
70 themselves-Alfred Trumble in New

,Japanese on the Stairs.

There are many funny things in New York
boarding houses, as most people know or be-
Iieve But an, told that among the most
amusing incidents are those afforded by es-
Establishments where japanese students are
domiciled. Hundreds of these young men are
in New York in attendance at the various
academies and colleges, private and public.
They have been sent here to get an "Ameri-
can" education, and most of them have taken
the higher branches of mathematics and en-
gineering Few of them seem to care for the
classical course, or for any language but
English. The funny pars Of their life is learn
ing TO 60 up and down stairs. 1t seems
that in most parts of Japan, particularly the
rural regions, stairwayS are unknown. The
houses, too, are seldom more than two stories
high, and access TO the upper floors is almost
universally had by means of a ladder, up
which the japanese run like sailors. Hence,
when these young men come to New York
and are lodged in boarding houses their
apartments are generally in tho third or
fourth story.
To reach their rooms they are compelled at
first to so up very cautiously and with the
aid of the balustrade. Some do not even hes
nate TO go up, cat fashion, on all tours, from
step to step. The trouble is that they have
not learned to balance the body so as to as
cend and descend as we do. Our agility in
going up and down stairs is really an aero
batic feat. but we are unconscious Of it be-
cause we have practiced it from childhood.
Now, the young japanese are determined to
perform this feat, and l am told that they
often spend hours in the most persevering
practice to acquire so simple an accomplish
ment You can fancy what ludicrous
scene they make. They soon learn to 60 up
the stairs. It's the coming down which gives
them trouble. The decensus is not facilis in
this case. The retrograde passus constitutes
the labor and the opus. When the novice
essays TO come down stairs his companions
watch and guy him as he totters in an effort
to keep All upright position. When, for any
reason, he is i'll n hurry, he has to do the sailor
act and come down on ell fours, stern fore
most. Brooklyn Citizen.

IN A CEYLON HARBOR.

a Superstition OF tho Natives of Trim
comalie-Impressive Ceremony.
Less than mile beyond we came to the re-
manning fort of the place-Fort Frederick-a
massive structure built by the Dutch in 1915
to resist land attacks from the interior, but
now occupied by an armed garrison of Eng
Hsh heavy artillery. Passing through the
fort and out to the extreme point we came to
large, rugged rock rising precipitously out
of the sea to height of nearly 200 feet. 1t
Is known es Salmi rock, and the natives have
tradition that it is occupied by one OF their
evil deities, to propitiate whom their native
Hindoo priest holds a sacred service on the
rock twice week. The Europeans here
know of only one event that has occurred to
make the rock memorable since the first
Dutch settlers arrived here. The daughter
of one of the old Dutch governors fell in love
with a young lieutenant stationed on
man of war in the harbor. Her irascible
old father opposed their union because the
Young lieutenant had nothing but his pay,
and in order to separate them he ordered the
man of war to sea on long cruise. As tho
ship sailed out Of the harbor the young girl
went out to the dock, waved last farewell
to her lover, and then threw herself off into
the sea and was drowned.
Fortunately, we got to the rock just as the
service was about to begin. On narrow
ledge right over the sea stood the priest,
fine looking, gray headed old fellow, who
was attired i'll the narrowest loin cloth have
yet seen. Near to him, but clear of the rock,
were about fifty or sixty natives, the men at
tired very much like the priest, but the
women respondent i'm skirts of many colors
and fairly loaded down with gold and silver
ornaments in nose and ears, and on arms,
ankles and toes.
The priest was fairly surrounded with a
load of fruit, flowers, rice, and cocoanuts, the
offerings of his congregation He commenced
the service by ringing a bell. Then holding
a brass vessel, in which was blazing fire, in
his hand before him, and apparently invok-
ing some spirit in it, he first threw some slips
Of paper over the face of the rock, his con-
gregation facing the sea, clasping their hands
10 front of the body and engaging III prayer.
After this was over the priest opened all the
cocoanuts, emptying the milk into brass
vessel Afterward lie made final prayer in
regard to keeping the sea quiet SO that YES
sells could swim on it, and then commenced to
throw part of the offerings into the sea;
first some flowers, then a little rice, and
finally some cocoanuts How they were to
reach the evil deity l could not learn. Dur
ing the praying of the priests these poor ma
tives looked every bit as earnest and devout
as any of our congregations at home would
look during divine service.-Cor. Baltimore

A Tots Idea of Newspaper Influence.

The other day little grandson of certain

climbed oil-a chair at the parlor window and

iously up the street, as if trying TO see some
particular person. At length his grandma,
who had been watching his movements for
some time, asked him what lie was locking

A Flat Denial.

WASHINGTON, Jan. IA committee
representing the Consolidated Cattle
Growers Association, called upon Attor-
ney General Garland, this morning. in
company with Representative Springer,
of Illinois, and Judge J. NJ. Carey,
delegate from Wyoming, with the view
to arriving at the truth Of certain reports
being industriously circulated to the effect
that the attorney general had given an
adverse opinion relative to the constitu-
tionality of the Miller bill for the sup
preston Of pleuro pneumonia, now
pending in congress. The committee re-
port hat Garland. denied emphatically
having given expression to any such
views. His record in the senate, he said,
would show that he favored the passage
OF an effective law to deal with this dis
ease, and he had had no occasion to
change his mind upon that subject. He
stated that he had not given the Miller
bill any special consideration. and there
fore conld not have given any such opln-
ion concerning it as had been attributed
to him.
